Nana Tano Kabbah II, the Chief of Enchi Kwahu and Akwamuhene of the Aowin Traditional Council, has officially launched the construction of a state-of-the-art auditorium for the Enchi College of Education in the Western North Region. The project, valued at GH¢ 10 million, is set to include a 1,000-seat auditorium, 10 offices, 20 washrooms, and four storage facilities, and is expected to be completed within 18 months.
At the launch event, Nana Kabbah II reiterated his commitment to improving educational infrastructure in the Aowin Municipality, emphasizing that education remains a top priority for him. “I will continue to channel most of my resources into educational infrastructure development,” he stated.
Dr. Emmanuel Adom Ashun, the Acting Principal of Enchi College of Education, highlighted the college’s long-standing struggle with inadequate infrastructure. Currently, the institution uses its dining hall as a multipurpose space for both dining and auditorium purposes, underscoring the urgency of the new project. He also appealed to alumni, philanthropists, NGOs, and government stakeholders for support, particularly in providing building materials to bring the project to life.
Since the beginning of the year, the college has made significant strides, including procuring a new 65 KVA power plant to replace the outdated one and acquiring pavement moulding machines to improve the campus walkways, which are often affected by mud during the rainy season.
The event was attended by a variety of stakeholders, including members of the Municipal Education Directorate, faculty, students, alumni, and local religious leaders, all expressing their support for the ambitious project.
